"Sonoma County sheriff's deputies were alerted around 11:30 p.m. Wednesday that someone had commented, I'm bringing a bomb to school tomorrow, on an Instagram post from Pioneer High School's after-school programs account, Sgt. Juan Valencia said. Police in Woodland where the school is located contacted Sonoma County deputies because the comment came from a Santa Rosa account. Deputies found the 18-year-old at his home and searched the property but did not find any bomb-making materials."
"The man told investigators he made the post as a joke, according to the Sheriff's Office. He was arrested and booked into the Sonoma County jail on suspicion of making criminal threats a charge that can be filed as either a misdemeanor or a felony. He was later released on $30,000 bail. The Press Democrat is not naming the man because he has not been charged and it's unclear how prosecutors will handle the case."
